Jessica's Garden and
Resurrection Garden are special places on our church property where we honor and remember all of God's
children who were called home before their parents.
After acquiring the property next door we respectfully removed
each child's name from the redwood fence and carefully placed them in the newly
built Resurrection Garden at the end of the Resurrection Walk that begins in
Jessica's Garden. The walkway is lined with all 14 Stations of the Cross.
Stop by for a visit!
Visit the new walkway, Stations of the Cross and the Resurrection Garden
by watching the video below.
The
redwood fence along the
back of the garden has bronze plaques with the names of these most precious
children who now look down upon us from God's loving arms.

name you would like to add to the wall and be a part of "Jessica's Garden"
